Bhanwari Devi is an oppressed-caste woman who dared to fight against the feudal, casteist and patriarchal structures of rural Rajasthan. She started as a social worker as part of the government-run Women’s Development Project. In 1992, she became involved in specific campaigns against child marriage. She counselled women on family planning, girl child education, against female foeticide, dowry, and child marriage. Already, as a result of her activism, she and her family were subjected to constant threats and intimidation by the dominant caste men in the village.
Once she intervened to stop the marriage of a nine-month-old infant from a dominant caste family. This enraged the dominant caste men in the village. Despite knowing the consequences that were likely, she dared to continue to defy them and stand for what was right. The same year, in an act of retaliation, she was gang-raped and her husband beat-up while working on the field.
In her subsequent pursuit for justice, every step along the way she faced intense hurdles. At the police station, at the primary health care centre, and the judiciary. Read more about her here.
This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.
In the project directory, you can run:
Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.
Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.
Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!
See the section about deployment for more information.
Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!
If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.
Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.
You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
You can learn more in the Create React App documentation.
